While three hoods sit around a mortuary waiting for their supplier to arrive with dope, the owner helps them pass the time by telling stories about the very weird things he's witnessed. In one, a black rookie cop tries but fails to prevent some crooked policemen from beating an African-American community leader to death... but the victim finds a way to get his revenge. The second is a heart-wrenching drama about domestic violence that only magic can end, and the third story is a wickedly funny parody of racist Southern politicians, featuring a candidate who resembles several real public figures.

E.C. Comics-style horror films are the LAST place one should attempt serious social commentary.

[This] predictably trite Tales isn't very scary.
